He'll successfully cast us as Commies, will we successfully cast THEM as fascists? [View all]

We elected three Social Democrats, and instantly and in unison, not just Trump, but almost all national Republican office holders and their surrogates, began painting our ENTIRE party as “Godless Communists”.

Here’s what Trump had to say, the gist of which has been repeated endlessly ever since by others: “It’s become a Communist Party…these are not Social Democrats…these are hard core Godless Communists…”

Like most of their dishonest propaganda campaigns, it will work due to its nearly unanimous adaptation by the GOP, along with their current and upcoming laser sharp focus on this big lie. We may win the election, but because of this campaign, we will as usual win with less of the voting percentage than the issues and other realities would indicate should be the expectation.

We have had many years to paint the GOP with THE TRUTH…which is that they are the Fascist/Confederate/Hate Party of the 21st century, but an unfortunately large percentage of the populace at this time does not go along with that. Why? The answer is that we DON’T focus on the TRUE malevolence of the Republican Party nearly as much as they focus on the FALSE malevolence of the Democrats.

My gosh…somehow the Republican Party, which has been full of far right wing nationalist Jew haters for generations (as is the current White House), is now seen by fewer of our fellow citizens as anti-Semitic than the Democrats are.

How could this be? It has come to this point because the GOP has been using the same techniques over the last few years that they are now using to paint us as Commies, while they drown out our meager, unfocused attempts to honestly portray them as the Fascist/Confederate/Hate Party of the 21st century, a designation that has been applicable for many generations.

This must change!
